The Man Of Slender (Or Why Randy Shouldn't Read CreepyPastas)
A/N: 5 reviews? YAY! Here's my attempt at humor!
Howard knocked on the closet door asking, "Cunningham? Are you okay?"
"No, I'm not okay! He's gonna get me!" Randy whisper-yelled through the locked door. (why does the closet door have a lock anyway?)
"Cunningham, it's a fictional character! It's not gonna come after you or anything." Howard attempted to stifle a laugh at how ridiculous the situation was.
And to think, it all started when Randy asked Julian about scary stories on a school camping trip a week ago...
(Que flashback!)
Randy and Howard climbed onto the school bus, chatting about the sequel to I Don't Know When*.
As they moved to their usual seats in the back of the bus, Howard asked "So Cunningham, what scary stories are you gonna tell this time? Oh and for the record, don't ever tell Mudfart again."
"Aw, come on Howard! It's not that scary!" Randy complained
"Yes, it is. And I don't want everyone to freak out about it ether." Howard stated. While in truth he didn't want to end up paranoid because of it.
"Kill-joy" Randy mumbled.
"What?"
"Nothing!"
"Do you even know any scary stories besides 'The Tale of Mudfart'?" Howard asked, deciding to change the topic to something other than Mudfart.
"Oh? Are you discussing what kind of wonderful horrors lurk in the forest?" Julian seemingly popped out of nowhere, startling Howard.
"Yeah, we were. Hey Julian, you wouldn't happen to know any good scary stories, would you?" Randy asked, genuinely curious.
Julian giggled in that creepy way only he could, saying "I happen to know quite a few."
"Great! Can you tell us some?" Randy asked eagerly.
"What? Do I get no say in this?" Howard asked after being ignored for several minutes.
"No, you don't. Now be quite and let Julian speak." Was his answer.
"Well, have you ever heard of Slender Man?" The goth asked them.
"No"
"Never heard of him"
Were his answers. And with that, he launched into a full description on who-what Slender Man is, what he does, and even told them some stories he's read about him.
(Back to the present!)
"He's real! Haven't you read any of the stories from the website?!" Was his best friend's fearful reply.
"What? That CrappyPasta place? Those are just stories some shoobs made up to scare people with. Not real Cunningham; never has been, never will be." Howard reasoned. 'And it had nothing to do with pasta!' he complained to himself.
"But what about the stories that weren't on there, huh? What about the video someone found in a forest after one of their friends went missing? Or why Julian went missing after going into the forest to look for Him!"
"You can't be serious Cunningham, they're fake, all of them! Now get out of that closet so we can go to the Game Hole and play the new Grave Puncher game that just came in!" Howard was starting to get frustrated, Randy was being ridiculous!
"No! No honkin' way! I am not leaving this closet, besides it's nice in here." His decision was final, and nothing would change his mind.
Howard tried to think of a way to get Randy to open the flipping closet door, and remembered something his crazy bromigo told him a few days ago, "What about that Jeff guy?"
"Who?" Randy asked, confused.
"You know, likes to hang out in closets, kills people when they sleep, ring any bells?"
...
Next thing Howard knew, Randy flew out the closet, up the ladder and into his bed, cowering under a blanket and hugging the Nomicon.
Howard sighed, this is going to be a long weekend.
A/N: So, what do you think? Originally I wasn't going to have the flashback, but it was really short and I wanted to make it longer somehow I'm currently working on a cover for this/working on another one-shot. I've recently started watching this awesome show called Detentionaire, it's Canadian and freakin awesome! I'm already on season three (I started watching it Saturday) since you guys are so awesome I'll give you guys the title for the next one-shot; "Attach of the Mary-Sues" because, why not?
*Mentioned in Grave Puncher The Movie.
Can we aim for 5 more reviews? :D
